To understand the mechanism underlying root gravitropism, we isolated a rice （Xiushui63） mutant defective in root gravitropism, designated as glsl. Vertical sections of root caps revealed that glsl mutant displayed normal distribution of amyloplast in the columella cells compared with the wild type. The glsl mutant was less sensitive to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid （2,4-D） and ct-naphthaleneacetic acid （NAA） than the wild type. Genetic analysis indicated that the phenotype ofglsl mutant was caused by a single recessive mutation, which is mapped in a 255-kb region between RM16253 and CAPS1 on the short arm of chromosome 4.展开更多
